Osrednja razstava letošnje edicije Festivala Art Stays nagovarja prostor, kot živ, nenehno se spreminjajoč organizem, v katerem človek še danes išče svoj prostor. Povabljeni mednarodni umetniki se predstavljajo v odprtem okolju, kjer mobilnost (Vinko Tušek), meta-racionalnost (Beppe Bonetti), vizualna fikcija (Hans Op de Beeck), dimenzije (Natalija R. Črnčec, Nina Šulin, JUNEsHELEN), procesi širjenja (Béatrice Lartigue) in ravnotežje (Shaun Gladwell) ponujajo razmišljanja o naravi prostora, spremembi in refleksiji človeka. Razstava je potovanje, na katerem se dela v medsebojnem stiku na novo definirajo. Zbirajo se, odbijajo ali se v svojem iskanju in dodajanju kot dinamični položaj nenehno pozivajo k novemu opazovanju prostora s strani gledalca. Kajti s tem, ko dela bivajo in živijo z nevtralnim prostorom Mestne galerije Ptuj, iz njega in v njem, postanejo njegov del, zaznamujejo čas z vsakdanjostjo in razgrinjajo nove izkušnje možnega.

The main exhibition of this year’s Art Stays Festival edition addresses space as a living, ever-changing organism in which man is still searching for his place. The invited international artists are presented in an open environment where mobility (Vinko Tušek), meta-rationality (Beppe Bonetti), visual fiction (Hans Op de Beeck), dimensions (Natalija R. Črnčec, Nina Šulin, JUNEsHELEN), processes of extension (Béatrice Lartigue) and balance (Shaun Gladwell) suggest reflections on the nature of space, change and a reflection of man. The exhibition is a journey, where the works redefine themselves in their contact with each other. Gathering together, repelling or in their finding and adding themselves as a dynamic position, they constantly call for a new observation of space on the part of the viewer. For in their being and living with, of and in the neutral space of the Ptuj City Gallery, the works become part of it, marking time with the everyday, declining new experiences of the possible.
